Sat, 15 Nov 2014 17:18:16 +0000http://gscblog.dreamhosters.com/?p=423#comment-569951I forgot to bring in my bougainvillea on the first freeze of the fall. It looks okay, but could be better. The leaves are still attached but are turning brown. I wasn’t able to take care of the plant as I wanted this past summer. I was out of state almost all summer. I wanted to save my plant and being it indoors for the winter months. My questions; should I prune it back to see if it will come back and place it in a bright and warm room (southeast)?

You’re in the heart of bougainvillea territory, so I’m sure there are others who have tried. -David Grist, Gardener’s Supply

Wed, 02 Apr 2014 20:44:33 +0000http://gscblog.dreamhosters.com/?p=423#comment-17606What about cross-pollination? I’m in an upper-floor condo with a fully screened balcony that gets lots of afternoon Miami sun. Do these plants need to spend any amount of time exposed to butterflies, bees, or other pollinating agents? I have no way to put my plants in a completely exposed area.

Fri, 03 Jan 2014 17:17:39 +0000http://gscblog.dreamhosters.com/?p=423#comment-14343I live in Washington state I have a bougainvillea which
I have had it 8 years and move it out side when weather
permits. It is in a 12″ pot now but getting too big to
move and I am 82 and can’t wrestle it around any more
I want to know how to start a new one. It has been cut
back every year. So any help is appreciated. Other wise
will have to dump, I am bad about doing that.
Thank you
Anna Mae

Fri, 03 Jan 2014 14:14:16 +0000http://gscblog.dreamhosters.com/?p=423#comment-14342Have you checked with the grower where you buy your plants? Another option is to pose your question on a gardening forum, such as gardenweb or davesgarden. Logee’s Greenhouse (http://www.logees.com/) is a good mail-order source for tropical plants; perhaps they will know something about why your orange plants revert to pink or red. -David Grist, Gardener’s Supply

Thu, 02 Jan 2014 15:22:17 +0000http://gscblog.dreamhosters.com/?p=423#comment-14276I am so glad to see all the info on these beautiful flowers; however, I’ve had an issue that I haven’t seen addressed, &
no one has been able to explain to me….

I’ve purchased 2-4 of these plants ranging in color from a very vivid orange to a coral shade because I’m just not a
fond of pink or red flowers…..always preferring the orange shades. Every time I’ve had them for awhile they lose
their orange, & they become pink or red. I’ve wondered if it’s the water…just don’t know, & I’d love an explanation.

Thanks

Thu, 12 Sep 2013 19:45:14 +0000http://gscblog.dreamhosters.com/?p=423#comment-5228I have one outside now in full bloom. I will bring it in before it gets too cold. And we are supposed to get cool like 62 for a high tomorrow but warm into the 70’s again. I don’t like bringing plants in from the outdoors cuz usually within a week or two the bugs appear. Fungal gnats. And trust me I don’t overwater anything. Which gnats love. So any advise on how to bring it indoors without bugs would be appreciated.
